Jenny contacted me so she could respond to yesterday's Random Thought.  Remember that, while you can't comment directly on the Random Thought display, you can always send me a quick e-mail if you want to discuss one.  I'm more than happy to start a post on it.

So, here’s the Random Thought we’re talking about:

[W]e shall continue to have a worsening ecologic crisis until we reject the Christian axiom that nature has no reason for existence save to serve man.

— Lynn White, Jr.

And Jenny's comment:

I mentioned once with you & Derek (driving someplace) about the hideous Judeo-Christian 'ethic' that all creatures were put here to serve us, it follows along this line.
